quarterly reports on natural gas import and export activities. Companies are required, as a condition of their authorizations, to file monthly reports. This Natural Gas Import and Export Report is for the second quarter of 2019 (April through June). Sections 1 and 2 contain quarterly summary charts, tables, and a map displaying U.S. LNG exports by vessel. Section 3 contains the detailed transactions of all imports and exports. The data in Section 3 are organized by activity: long-term imports, long-term exports, short-term imports, and short-term exports. Section 4 lists revisions made to data published previously. There is a table of contents for your convenience. Second Quarter 2019 Highlights The April through June months saw the lower-48 states export a total of 413.7 Bcf of LNG (including shipments of LNG in cryogenic ISO containers, not including re-exports) through the Sabine Pass LNG, Cove Point LNG, Corpus Christi, and Cameron export facilities during the second quarter. The Countries of Destination Table shows the destinations for these 135 LNG by vessel cargos, not including ISO container shipments. The Countries of Destination Table also includes 39 smaller shipment cargos of LNG in cryogenic ISO containers to Barbados, Bahamas, and Haiti from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. U.S. imports totaled 640.5 Bcf and U.S. exports totaled 1,065.1 Bcf, resulting in net U.S. exports of 424.6 Bcf. As usual, most of the imports by pipeline came from Canada, comprising 99.5 percent of the total imports. LNG imports (truck and vessel) and U.S. imports from Mexico made up the remainder, 0.5 percent of total imports. Mexico eclipsed Canada in total natural gas by U.S. pipeline exports, with 68.8 percent going to Mexico and 32.2 percent to Canada. Total U.S. exports by pipeline equal 61.1 percent of total U.S. exports, with the remaining 38.9 percent of total U.S. exports being very small volumes of LNG trucked exports to Canada and Mexico, as well as LNG by vessel cargos (including ISO containers) to the countries listed in the Countries of Destination Table. Countries of Destination Table: Second Quarter 2019 U.S. LNG Exports by Vessel and ISO Container Argentina Japan South Korea Brazil Jordan Spain Chile Kuwait Taiwan China Malta Thailand Dominican Republic Mexico Turkey France Netherlands United Arab Emirates Greece Panama Bahamas (ISO) India Poland Barbados (ISO) Italy Portugal Haiti (ISO) Jamaica Singapore Second Quarter 2019 vs. First Quarter 2019 - Highlights As illustrated in the tables in Section 1, total imports decreased 20.2 percent compared to last quarter. Pipeline imports from Canada decreased by 17.9 percent, with pipeline imports from Mexico also decreasing by 30.9 percent (although from a very small initial volume base). LNG imports by vessel decreased 88.9 percent. Canadian imports by pipeline prices were down by 55.5 percent from last quarter while Mexican imports by pipeline prices were also down by 51.6 percent from last quarter. LNG import by vessel prices fell by 18.6 percent. Total U.S. exports were 1,065.1 Bcf, 0.3 percent lower than the first quarter 2019 total. A 2.8 percent increase in U.S. exports by pipeline to Mexico which is complemented by a 25.3 percent decrease in U.S. exports by pipeline to Canada. Prices of U.S. pipeline exports to Mexico decreased by 16.3 percent with prices of U.S. pipeline exports to Canada also having decreased by 28.6 percent.
